Sunan Abi Dawud 1382 (Book 6, Hadith 12) #21674
The Prophet's Devotion During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to spend the middle ten days of Ramadan in retirement and devotion in the mosque. He advised others to do the same, and on one occasion he was seen with mud and water on his forehead after a night of prayer.

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al Khudri : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend the middle ten days of Ramadan in retirement and devotion (i'tikaf) in the mosque. One year he had retirement and devotion in the mosque (as usual); when the twenty-first night came, and this night when he used to come out his devotion in the mosque, he said: He who has engaged himself in devotion along with me should do so during the last ten days; I saw that night, that was caused to forget it, but I have seen myself prostrating in water and mud on the morning following (that night), so seek it in the last ten days and seek it every night with an odd number. Abu sa'id said: Rain fell that night, the mosque that was thatched building dripped, and my eyes saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the traces of water and mud, on his forehead on the morning following the twenty-first night.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاعْتَكَفَ عَامًا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَهِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي يَخْرُجُ فِيهَا مِنَ اعْتِكَافِهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَانَ اعْتَكَفَ مَعِي فَلْيَعْتَكِفِ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتُهَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ مِنْ صَبِيحَتِهَا فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ وَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي كُلِّ وِتْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَمُطِرَتِ السَّمَاءُ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَكَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَلَى عَرِيشٍ فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَأَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَاىَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَأَنْفِهِ أَثَرُ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ مِنْ صَبِيحَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Spend time devotedly worshipping Allah SWT during last 10 nights/days of Ramadan .

EXPLANATIONS:
Every year during the month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world fast from sunrise to sunset as an act of worship. In addition to fasting, it is also recommended for Muslims to spend time in devotion and prayer during this holy month. According to a hadith narrated by Abu Said Al Khudri, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to spend the middle ten days of Ramadan in retirement and devotion at a mosque. He encouraged others who were with him at that time to do so as well. On one occasion, he was seen with mud and water on his forehead after spending a night in prayer - indicating that he had prostrated himself while praying despite being surrounded by wetness due to rain falling that night. This hadith serves as an example for us today - reminding us that we should strive for spiritual growth even when faced with difficult circumstances or obstacles such as rain or other weather conditions which may make it harder for us physically or mentally when engaging in acts of worship like prayer or recitation of Quran etc..
